Young centre-back who rejoined the Pitmen after a successful trial period in July 2023

​

A member of the Pitmen's successful youth team, Paddock played several games for the team during the 2021-2022 pre-season and made twenty-one appearances for the youth team throughout the subsequent campaign. He was loaned out to local side Sikh Hunters in March 2022 in a bid to gain more senior experience

​

After departing Hednesford in the summer of 2022, Paddock joined North West Counties League side Rocester. It was to prove to be a tough start to the season for Rocester, as they lost their first eleven games of the season. Despite this, Paddock impressed and after twelve games for the Romans elected to join Midland Football League side Market Drayton Town in October 2022

​

After a short spell at Market Drayton and an even shorter spell at Black Country OJM, Paddock eventually settled at Wednesfield, where he saw out the remainder of the Midland Football League Division One season

In July 2023, the Cannock-based 20-year-old returned to Keys Park on trial, impressing in their first two pre-season games before agreeing to a deal for the 2023-2024 campaign
